You?!? with scaffolding?!!
DOES NOT COMPUTE!!
One of my colleagues has scaffolding, and did the same by having a single bar from the off. It keeps going a bit manky though.
Putting a single rigid bar in from the start can cause problems with healing as every time you bend your ear you're going to irritate the wound. I went for a single bar from the start but a bioplast one which was flexible and bendy. After about 5 or 6 weeks it had healed enough for a metal bar. I've had it about 5 months now and love it!
They can go manky if not cleaned properly or if they become infected. After a camping trip for a few days shortly after I got it done, not having any cotton buds to clean it properly took it's toll on mine and it oozed some white crap and stank to high heaven. It was fine after a proper clean up though.

Thats just the sort of bar im after Scuzi, but in black 
Yeah he said they wont be aligned at first, but by the time it comes to put a straight bar in itll be fine, he said a few months
Yep, keeping it clean with savlon spray and cotton buds!
Cheers for all the positive comments

I got this once after stretching, pulled out the taper and it was covered in some white gunk that smelled vulgar. There was no sign of infection around the hole though, just cleaned it and it was fine.
Christ knows what it was :confused:

it's normal. Just clean it more often.

I'm becoming quite bored of it myself. The trouble is that there doesn't appear to be a great deal of variety when it comes to industrial barbells at this length
try 'wildcat'
plenty of industrial length bars on there!
straight blackline up to 50mm
Quoted for truth. Is it just something people do when they get 'bored' with the way they are/look? Just think it looks so stupid putting a bit of metal between ones ears but then again different things for different people.
Mine was quite weird. Back in December I had a dream and in that dream I had a bar in my ear. For some reason it stuck out in my memory. I just kind of thought about it for a few days and thought "what the hell" and decided to get it done to see what it would be like. Worst case scenario, if I didn't like it I could pull the bar out and it would heal up.
I liked it though and kept it. It's funny how things work out because my current girlfriend said it was the ear piercing that made me catch her eye. That may sound wrong but it struck up a conversation with us and from then on in we just clicked. Had I not had the piercing we probably would never have spoken. I've had a few drinks so excuse me if this comes across as soppy crap but I think she is the one. Had I not had the dream and the subsequent action on the dream I probably would never have spoken to her.
It's funny how things like that work out.
I say if you have the urge, do it. What have you got to lose? For what seemed like such an insignificant decision at the time it has certainly had a massive impact on my life.
